DD> For Christ's sake! check page C-6 in the manual.  Read the description of

In the absence of autobauding, that is the default speed used.
Like I said, do the test above, and you will find that that
speed is NOT used.  Try it yourself, on an outgoing call.  Unless 
you're going to say that THAT is the bug in the USR, that it
doesn't always communicate at the speed stored in NVRAM?  Come
on, answer this straight question.

PE> Oh, and then explain why the way the USR is doing it makes

DD> Different = fucked?

No "implemented in a manner of no use to anyone" = fucked.
BFN.  Paul.
